MY LIFE
Personal bio
I grew up in Beaumont and graduated from Westbrook High School. After completing several architecture and drafting courses at Lamar University, I realized my heart was leading me more into full-time ministry. I have since earned my credentials and certifications in Biblical Studies from Global University in Springfield, MO. I've been married to Amy, my high school sweetheart, for 14 years. We have one son and two daughters - all of whom will be Chiefs fans one day.
Family
Amy (wife), Cameron (son), Hailey and Maizy (daughters) and our dog Chief (Go Kansas City!)
What do you like to do in your “down time”
